Typical Disk Requirements

 Shown below are the results of several install sessions on my spare A2000. Note that Linux requires a certain amount of reserved diskspace to function normally and future package requirements will certainly be greater than the values shown here.

Motto: you will need at least 10..20% more diskspace than what I have shown here, and this doesn't consider any space for your own programs and/or data.
